"To the Afghan citizens in India, the Embassy extends its sincere gratitude for their understanding and support throughout our mission's tenure," the embassy said.
The Afghanistan embassy in Delhi announced Thursday that it had shut down in the face of "persistent challenges from the Indian government". This follows the halt to operations announced September 30, which the embassy called "a move made in the hope the Indian government's stance will favourably change to let the mission operate normally." The embassy said "it now rests on the Indian government to decide the fate of the mission... to maintain closure or consider alternatives".
In its final statement, the embassy said it was cognisant some may attempt to characterise this move as an internal conflict - allegedly involving diplomats who switched allegiance to the Taliban - and stressed "this decision is a result of broader changes in policy and interests". It said that despite "limitations", it worked "tirelessly" for Afghan citizens "absent a legitimate government in Kabul".
"To the Afghan citizens in India, the Embassy extends its sincere gratitude for their understanding and support throughout our mission's tenure," it added.
